Upper West Side Dentist

A practice built around keeping your original teeth.

The premise is simple: your own teeth, kept healthy for a lifetime. We're a minimally invasive office on the Upper West Side, which in practice means prevention is the work and major procedures are the rare exception.

Hygiene is taken seriously here. Laser disinfection cleans inside the gum pockets so your mouth leaves cleaner than any standard cleaning can manage. When restorative or cosmetic work is needed — implants, Invisalign, whitening, a same-day crown — it's done by people who already know your teeth.

Cutting-Edge Laser Dentistry

Cleaner than hand instruments can reach.

Most cleanings stop at the surface. Laser pocket disinfection doesn't. The laser slips below the gumline where instruments can't go and neutralizes bacteria for roughly eleven weeks afterward.

For patients managing gum disease, that's the difference between scrubbing a counter and sterilizing it — and it's what shifts the trajectory.

When gum recession becomes a problem — treatment options that actually work.

Receding gums start as a cosmetic concern and become a clinical one quickly. Exposed roots mean sensitivity, higher decay risk, and a smile that shifts shape over time.

About half of adults between 18 and 64 have at least one site of recession. After 65, almost everyone does. Caught early, the options are simple — most don't require surgery at all.
